The Cheater Slicks have been around for 20 years, have released 13 LP's and 10 or 12 singles and have been directly or indirectly responsible for some of the best things that have happened in underground rock and roll in the last two decades, maybe ever. This year, they released the fantastic, all improv, instrumental LP Bats In Dead Trees, a record that proves, again, these guys can do about anything and it will be great. This single is a return to the traditional Slicks form. The A Side is a hilarious Dana Hatch penned punker called Erotic Woman. The B-Side is Tom Shannon fronting the band on Can't You Hear (My Heartbeat) by obscure-o Garage band the Outcry. Both songs were recorded exclusively on mics and gear from the 50's and 60's at Columbus, OH's historic Mus-i-col recording. It's a real honor for us to present this record.

The Little Claw record ran late, so Option 1 subscribers will be getting it with the Slicks record. Both will ship on Friday or Saturday. Sorry for the delay on the July Rec.

Is there an october 7" for year 1? Was there a September? Either way, I need to get the Little Claw and Cheater Slicks ones. When are these going to be in a public place where one of you guys are gonna be?

The Sept records for year 1 got delayed because of a label printing mixup. We've got 'em in hand now and we're putting 'em in sleeves this weekend. Most likely the pickup for the last month of year 1 and the first month of year 2 will be at used kids next weekend. We will keep you posted.

*Somebody* uploaded this to another message board that I frequent and I must say that if you told me a year ago that a) Psychedelic Horseshit would cover a Blind Melon song and b) that I'd like it, I'd have kicked you in the nuts. I'm not jumping on the Horseshit bandwagon but will say that this is far more tolerable than anything else I've ever heard by them.

Not yet, the plant is running behind due to the weather and we're running behind due to the LP's we put out this month and last. Everyone is about caught up though. Should get the announcement up real soon.
